However, I must mention that in Rain last Saturday there was a 'beach party'. I went expecting something lame and tacky. However I was blown away by how good it was. They've turned the old factory building behind it into a massive beach area. The floor is covered in sand (or grit?) and there is no roof. They had a DJ playing summer anthems and a BBQ. It was a sunny day but they had all the patio heaters on full as well, so it wasn't remotely cold. I spent the whole night outside and it was fantastic. Really felt like being on a beach on holiday. There were even people in the corner building sandcastles.

Nice job Rain.
